Supreme Court Criticizes MP High Court for Denying Bail on Victim's Family Morals

The Supreme Court expressed disapproval over the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision to deny bail based on the moral standing of the victim's family. The apex court observed that bail determinations must rely solely on legal criteria such as the risk of flight or tampering with evidence, and not on subjective moral judgments. The court emphasized that lower courts should adhere to established legal principles while adjudicating bail applications, and warned against extraneous considerations.
